You're not going to get anywhere in the security sector unless you gain notoriety i.e. are noticed.

This appears to come from dressing up like Elton John in a feather suit and hiring a marketing team.

It's a wall of text about a kernel stack overflow. I'm not sure where the "Elton John" part is. Is it... that they used an accent color?

  • Maybe the researcher was wearing windshield-wiper spectacles when he discovered the vulnerability.

    I don't understand why you're being so defensive about this.

    • Because it's a tiresome, tropey, and ultimately invalid complaint. Look downthread at the person who said the FreeBSD commit log was better than this page, despite being inscrutable to security practitioners who don't work in the kernel and not saying a word about proven exploit vectors.

      These complaints aren't about what's better or worse for the user community; they're about people trying to put vulnerability researchers in their place.
